· Students use the process of statistical investigation · Students interpret given representations (line graphs, scatter plots, histograms, box-and-whisker plots) to analyze the data to formulate or justify conclusions, make predictions, or solve problems · Students analyze patterns, trends, or distributions in data in a variety of contexts by determining or using measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode, range), outliers, or quartile values, to analyze situations, and evaluate the sample from which the statistics were developed · Students identify representations or elements of representations that best display a given set of data · Students distinguish between samples and populations Students decide the most effective method to collect data; organize and appropriately display the data, and analyze the data to draw conclusions about the question or hypothesis being tested
· Use information from samples to make conclusions about populations
NETS
Students describe how to use online environments or other collaborative tools to facilitate design and development of materials, models, publications, and presentations; and to apply utilities for editing pictures,
images, and charts.
Students know how to use telecommunications tools such as e-mail, discussion groups,and online collaborative
environments to exchange data collected and learn curricular concepts by communicating witheers,experts, and
other audiences.
Students know how to identifyand implement procedures for designing, creating, and populating a database; and in performing queries to process data and report results relevant to an assigned hypothesis or research question.
